What changes will kindom make in 4th boy groups popularity in korea

seems like the boyz will get the biggest push from kingdom. they already had a sizable fandom in korea but they’ve really grown a lot after rtk and kingdom. people don’t include them in the 4th gen bg talks even though they’re outcharting and outperforming most of their peers in korea. kinda sad but they’re rising like underdogs

Are the boyz more popular than txt in korea and didn't they debut in 2017, are they considered 4th gen?

no txt is the most popular followed by the boyz and then ab6ix maybe?

well i guess if we're discussing popularity in korea then this is the right forum to do it in since after all most of us are koreans and korean experts...

Tbz are the ones showing promising results, plus Juyeon is becoming an It Boy, so I think they are the real winners already. I expect them to chart on melon + get a significant increase in physical sales

The others will get better better physical sales for sure, and maybe higher rankings on Bugs or genie but I don't think much on melon

idk.. but I have a really good feeling about the boyz.. this first comeback after kingdom but especially the second comeback after kingdom...

call it intuition maybe? idk.. but whatever comeback they have around end of this year/beginning of next year is gonna be a blast..

as for stats,

the boyz are doing best domestically among kingdom 4th gen groups... expect some increase in physical sales, hopefully melon charting in 24hits for a small while at least and overall a successful comeback..

In Korea, TBZ already seems like they're doing so well with Kingdom Come.

SKZ have gotten a lot of attention too but TBZ are far ahead

ATEEZ haven't gotten as much attention as the other two but I still see slight changes in their popularity there though it's small

THE Boyz could probably end up joining TXT as the only 4th BGs to chart on Melon 24Hits and Flo. (ATM TXT is still the only 4th gen BGs to do so and have done so with their past three releases). The boyz charted in around the 100s for their last cb for melon, so i could definetly see them entering the top 100 with their upcoming cb whenever it is.

They'll also gain in physical sales (even with RTK gave them an almost 300k boost in physical sales). I could definetly see all groups gaining in physical sales with SKZ, Ateez and The boyz seeing the biggest boosts in physicals.

All the 4th Gen groups will see a better domestic presence. Stray Kids entered the old Melon Top 100 for the first time with Wolfgang so Kingdom has clearly gotten them domestic fans. They charted in at #95 in the OLD Melon chart and I expect that number to rise when they have an official comeback as it did for ONF post-RTK.

But, if we're talking bout who will get the biggest domestic advantage, it'll probably be The Boyz. They were already the most popular out of the ZZZs domestically before Kingdom, but their Korean fanbase has grown and gotten more dedicated. Their digital ranking for Kingdom Come was even better than the one for The Stealer, which was an actual promoted comeback.

Here are just a few things they've achieved post-Kingdom in Korean charts:

Highest 4th Gen BG peak on Gaon's Digital Chart

Great peak on the Download Chart as well:

They also have the highest weekly index points for a 4th Gen BG on Gaon's digital chart:

Next is TXT:

So while they may not be on TXT's level (especially internationally), they might get there if they show the same growth. Remember, all of these achievements are for a non-promoted song. Their fandom will 100% go harder with a comeback. Their RTK finale ranked #61 on Melon's Old chart and their first post-RTK comeback title ranked #12. Their domestic fandom is also super organized with streaming given that they've done it for two survival shows now.

Juyeon is also one of the only 4th Gen BG members who's been on a major variety show this year (Hangout with Yoo) so if he continues to get high profile gigs, he'll bring in a lot more domestic fans.

Queendom gave big popularity boosts to some participant ggs in korea. Which bgs will get that benefit.

Also what is current ranking of 4th gen boy groups solely based on popularity in korea and what changes would happed due to kingdom

minimal change based on ratings.

The Boyz will be the one to watch, especially in Korea.
